The Price of Coal Ken Loach, 1977
IMDb 1 | IMDb 2 | BFI
Director: Ken Loach Writer: Barry Hines Film Editor: Roger Waugh Cinematographer: Brian Tufano Producer: Tony Garnett Production Company: BBC Country & Year: UK, 1977 Runtime: 168 min (2 parts) Language: English

Quote: | Two linked dramas look at the lives of those living in a Yorkshire colliery community. The first part, Meet the People, takes a look at preparations for a visit by Prince Charles, as management try to enlist the miners' help in sprucing up the pithead. Completely different in tone, Part Two, Back to Reality, is set one month later as an underground explosion has disastrous consequences - above and below ground.
For these BBC films, Loach and Producer Tony Garnett were reunited with playwright Barry Hines for the first time since working together on Kes. Filmed on location at the disused Thorpe Hesley pit, the films saw the casting of several Northern comics including Jackie Shinn, Duggie Brown, Stan Richards and Bobby Knutt. The second part is loosely based on the Lofthouse Colliery disaster in 1973. |

___________________________Quote: | Today Ken Loach is an internationally feted filmmaker. But he was also once a prophet in his own country. Working with a generation of radicals, he excelled at what became known as the drama-documentary - a TV genre that was socially engaged, aesthetically experimental and politically influential. It made working class people the subject of public service broadcasting. This essential collection has many of the key works which now deserve the widest rescreening for their enduring relevance and artistic courage. [socialistreview.org.uk] |
